"I've been getting anxiety for approximately 1 year and decided to try acupuncture which had been recommended to me, and I was willing to look at trying an alternative to ease my anxiety.
Lily was a great help to me and eased my anxiety a great deal, enough so that I was able to be anxiety-free for long enough to fulfill my long term goals of running the London Marathon."

Read More"I've been suffering with anxiety for 10 months prior to my first appointment with Lily, and from ME for 6 years. I had tried Amitriptyline which was not able to control my anxiety levels and was keen to get it under control.
My anxiety symptoms meant that I experienced disturbed thoughts, twitching muscles, anxiety shocks and diarrhoea. With the ME, I suffered with a lack of energy, exhaustion, headaches and brain fog.
Lily's treatment procedures and professional caring manner could not be improved on, they are impeccable. After a course of acupuncture with Lily, my anxiety levels were reduced such that I can now watch TV without having disturbed thoughts, and undertake activities that would trigger off my anxiety such as playing video games. At PMT time, I do not end up suffering from anxiety as badly. In general, the acupuncture alongside a low dose of my anti-anxiety medication has meant that I have been able to live my life again.
The biggest surprise has been the effect of the acupuncture on my ME symptoms. It is thanks to Lily that I no longer suffer from exhaustion nearly every day of my life. Thank you."

I've experienced Chinese medicine before and was keen to book in with Lily for relief from my symptoms. With acupuncture and moxibustion treatments, I've found that my energy levels have now improved and I experience less arthritic pain in some of my joints.
Lily's treatment has been excellent in every way, and makes me feel very comfortable in a friendly and positive way."

Acupuncture was suggested to me at hospital and Lily came recommended to me by a friend so I tried it. I experienced an amazing difference in my life. Going from being scared to even go into town to shop, to being able to get my life back on track, going and doing what I wanted and even signing up for a college course which I had put off for nearly ten years. I feel much more confident and better about myself. I can't thank you enough.

After the Acupuncture treatments with Lily, I found relief from my physical anxiety symptoms but also within myself gained clarity of thought and insights into what I should do.
I have found your approach very professional and caring - I would recommend you without hesitation. Thank you so much. "

Read More"I was suffering from stress, low mood and anxiety and decided to book in to see Lily after I got feedback from friends that acupuncture had worked for them. I found it increased my energy levels and mood and helped to relax my mind and body. I felt completely listened to in the consultation and I was given good advice and tips on maintaining health and wellbeing.
Lily it was a lovely experience and it gave me that extra boost I needed at the time!"

Read More"I had had insomnia for two years and I didn'’t want to go down the biomedical route. I had read about the success of acupuncture in the treatment of insomnia and decided to book in with Lily for Acupuncture.
After 5 sessions of Acupuncture my sleeping did improve. I was also benefiting from the sensible lifestyle/dietary advice Lily gave me. Once my sleeping problem had been '‘sorted'’ I continued to consult Lily for relaxation and stress relief treatments with Acupressure.
I really value Lily'’s professionalism '– she has helped me overcome an '‘intractable'’ problem. She is very friendly and personable, and it has been a real pleasure to see her. I value her treatments as well as her advice."

Read More"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME) has been part of my life for over 10 years and I’d recently had a pretty bad spell with a complete depletion of energy levels, poor sleep, headaches and digestive problems. Lily had been recommended to me by a friend and I was keen to try anything that would be able to offer me relief from any of my symptoms.
I received acupuncture treatments over the course of three months and began to notice gradual improvements in my wellbeing. My energy levels were more stable – I still had my low days (it’s all a rollercoaster ride!) but generally, they were levelling out a lot more and I was starting to find myself being able to plan things in advance because I knew I would be able to have enough energy for the day. My sleep was also less disturbed and less restless and my anxiety levels stabilised a lot more.
For me, the changes were slow but definitely present and I still come to Lily for occasional sessions just to check on how things are going. Lily is a very caring and attentive practitioner - I am so glad my friend passed me her number! I would not hesitate to recommend Lily to other CFS/ME sufferers or others seeking acupuncture treatments."

Read More"I had had acupuncture before for energy levels and felt that my issues were more holistic than focused on one particular problem. So when I experienced another bout of low energy, I went to see Lily.
Lily'’s young wisdom and the idea that you can change your habits bit by bit and not expect yourself to radically change all at once works. The acupuncture itself gave me a certain amount of energy and my tongue is still looking very healthy!"

But I was still finding every day an uphill struggle and suffered from panic attacks on a daily basis. Lily had been recommended to me by a friend and I wanted to see whether she could help me. She offered me acupuncture treatments which I found very relaxing and at the end of the course of treatments, I was feeling much more stable, grounded and emotionally happy. Lily has played a huge supporting role for me over the sessions."

Read More"I first came to Lily to seek relief for insomnia, period pains and to see if my serotonin and noradrenalin levels could be balanced with view to my condition (bi-polar disorder). I also wanted to discover if alternative therapies could help with my condition as opposed to medication.
I received acupuncture treatments with Lily and I experienced better sleep – it cured my insomnia. My period pain was reduced and I found improvements in energy levels, emotional state and in the balancing of the serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain which resulted in more balanced moods.
Lily has a fabulous personality that enables you to speak freely and openly about yourself and what you seek to remedy.
I would recommend acupuncture for the treatment of or to aid in depressive illness – I definitely saw a huge improvement!"

Read More"Thank you Lily for helping me with my anxiety, mood swings and tiredness. I have really enjoyed our treatments and consultations as you have always been very professional and always easy to talk to. Having acupuncture was surprisingly very effective, but the real surprise was in the effect of the ear seeds that you prescribed. Being able to use the seeds for acupressure at work and at home really helped me stay on the ball at work and gave me that extra calmness and energy I've always lacked. Thank you!"

Read More"I have been under emotional stress on and off for three to four years now. I have been coming to Lily for Acupuncture and have also received Acupressure treatments. On my first visit for Acupuncture, Lily made me feel calmer and have a more positive outlook and I felt that a lot of weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I can now cope a lot better with the emotions and not be afraid to show them and cry if necessary. I enjoy our chats - Lily has been a great strength to me over the past four months and has given me ideas on changes with diet (great stir fry ideas!), sleep and drinking plenty of water."

Read More"When I first started seeing Lily, I felt completely emotional, flat, and depressed. After the first session of Acupuncture I felt exhausted but could feel as if my layers were being pulled back to find out what was wrong and get it sorted. After a few more session I started to feel happier, more positive and more in control of my emotions.
Lily has taught me to relax, control and be aware of my stress levels. I now finally feel emotionally and physically ready to have a baby. I am a completely different person from the emotional and unhappy person I was when I first saw Lily.
Lily has influenced me to review all aspects of my life. I have changed my lifestyle, diet and expectations from life and myself. Thank you!! I feel fantastic!!!"

Read More"I came to Lily for my skin problems as well as some sleep and digestive problems. I had had acupuncture treatments in the past and found them very helpful. The acupuncture and acupressure treatments with Lily were incredibly relaxing. They were of great benefit to my skin in improving the redness, excessive pigmentation and oilyness. My sleep and my digestion also improved."
Mrs S, 49, Tring
Read More"For years, I had been referred back and forth across several dermatologists and specialists for a skin problem they eventually diagnosed as vitiligo, a whitening of the skin in several patches throughout my body. These patches had gotten worse over a recent period of stress and I wanted to try something natural that would help my symptoms but also help me feel less stressed. I was given Chinese herbs to boil which dramatically reduced the appearance of the white patches within 6 weeks and eventually returned the skin pigmentation to those areas! My stress levels are now much more manageable and I continue to have monthly consultations with Lily once a month. Thanks for all your help."

The acupuncture and herbal treatments focussed on my rheumatoid arthritis (suffered with this for over 25 years) and also my emotional state after bereavement 6 months prior. I get a general sense of wellbeing from the treatments and helps with me emotionally."
